I know that an S14 driveshaft works with an S13 SR20, so I don’t see why it wouldn’t work the other way around.

Different lengths, they are not interchangable.

He speaks the truth

S13’s are not interchangable with S14’s.

I should clarify. An S14 driveshaft in an S14, using an S13 SR will work.

Why would you need to replace the whole shaft? Are the u-joints non-serviceable or something?

I think he need the front portion for a 5 speed instead of an auto. The front portions are different lengths from auto to 5 speed.
